Well, they're finally here! We've got Trollbloods, Legion, Skorne, and Circle!

Pictures of the box front:









Looks like I'll be starting Skorne!

UGH! The Trollblood plastic Lights look like pure ass.

I like the axer. I was hoping they'd change the battlebox to
something with a Mauler.

Loving how the Gladiator looks! Almost looks like a nod to the Extreme Sculpt.

the troll starter never sat well with me, it should have a heavy in it like ALL the other boxes in the game.

Aw man ... now I'm really tempted to grab Legion or Skorne.

Even though I may not need more cyclopses that titan looks too good to pass up.

Then why not just buy the plastic titan set they will be releasing around the same time?

If they had changed how fugly & awkward the carnivean looked I might have thought about playing legion but it just looks identical to the current one. The titan does look fairly badass so I shall be picking up at least one for my skorne. I think the winners on the plastic beasts are circle in making the feral warpwolf actually look properly wolflike.

Well, time to get that Legion kit. Anyone know when they will show up on the warstore or something similar. As much as I love PP, I love discounts more.

I think they're coming out in May.

Perfect timing for a summer Journeyman league. And I won't have to worry about buying anything with my Cold Wars money!

Holy gak! The cyclops are on steroids now!

That troll set is money.

yeah, those cyclops look huge! geeze, they look like they could be an equal match for the Titan! which, by the way looks amazing!

Yeah... the rest are around the same level or slightly better, in my opinion, but the new direction* PP is going with trolls... let's say that I'd have never started Hordes if that were the case.

*hunchback, fewer characterful details, bizarre grimaces, small quills, etc.

The impalers look really bad! but the axer looks better in my opinion

Yea... definitely prefer the metal impalers. I understand wanting to make them stand out a little more than "This troll has a spear. This troll has an axe. This troll has..." but at the same time they look like they're devolving into GW orcs.

I do like the Axer though, and the new sculpt for Mr. Madrak looks quite nice.

Edit: On a side note, that Titan and Cyclops trio looks pretty boss. Even the new sculpt on the warlock looks leagues better than the old one. I had considered picking up Skorne anyway...

I think they're looking less like GW orcs, and more like GW's LoTR trolls (at least in face and chubbiness), but I like the new sculpts. I've got the old metal one, so I probably won't be picking up the new one, but at least I know the sculpts are out, should I ever want them.

I like the trolls, save the fact there isn't a heavy in there...

Yeah... Sadly :( I'd kill for one...

my plan is to raise the heads a touch on the trolls if i pick them up (i've got the metal already, so its a iffy question if i actually pick up the plastics)

The only reason I'd get the new Trolls one is for the new posed Madrak...

But you can already get the alt sculpt in metal (and will probably be able to pick up spare plastic madraks a few weeks after the plastic kit is released)

Details, details.
